The Financial Aid Food Bank shelves are always in need of replenishing. With the return to on campus classes, the need for the food bank has proven to be invaluable. Word of mouth and advertising has brought the service to the eyes and ears of those students who are truly in need of a little help. Nonperishable food items can be brought to room 4E.2 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Come celebrate one year of community building and mutual aid with the Atwater Pantry Project on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 4 p.m., right in front of the pantry (2111 Atwater).
Enjoy a free meal courtesy of the People’s Potato but feel free to bring food to share as well if you’d like. Finally, PLEASE bring your own re-usable containers and cutlery as there will be a limited amount to distribute.
Bringing some non-perishable donations for the pantry would be super appreciated as well. It would be nice to kick off the pantry’s second year with it full!

Héma-Québec held a two-day blood drive at Dawson on Sept. 13-14 and a total of 121 students and employees donated blood. Of these, 31 were first-timers! Many first-timers said it was easy and that they would do it again.
M. Lauzon of Héma-Québec said that they exceeded their goal of 120 donors and that it was an “excellent” result, especially considering that they have been experiencing up to 30 per cent of no-show’s for appointments elsewhere.
Thanks to the Dawson community donors for saving lives and embodying our value of well-being of all!
The Financial Aid Food Bank is always in need of non-perishable food items to replenish the shelves. Donations can be dropped off in the bin at 4.E2. The Financial Aid office is grateful to all our regular providers and hope that the Peace Week Giving Tree near the cafeteria entrance in the Upper Atrium will be a great success. Breakfast items are greatly needed. Here are some ideas for your donations: boxed nut and oat milks, juice, cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, nut spreads, jelly, Nutella, graham crackers, melba toast, instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate powder, pop tarts, granola.
Héma-Québec will be running a blood donor clinic at Dawson on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 13-14 in 3C.1.
It will be by appointment only. You can make an appointment online: https://www.hema-quebec.qc.ca/index.en.html or by calling 1-800-343-7264.
The objective is to get 60 donors and they are especially in need of O- and B- blood donors. Each donor can save several lives with only one donation and their body will quickly replenish their blood supply.
